jabref 2.6 still fails to open the database
Same database is opened by jabref 2.4.2 without problem.

Would it be possible to attach the bib file in question?

The stack trace doesn't involve any JabRef classes, which is usually an indication that there is a problem with the JVM installation. Have you tried to reinstall Java?

I feel a little bit embarrased: Reinstalling JVM fixes the issue. However i can still not understand why Jabref 2.4.2 was able to open the database, in contrast to the later versions. Thanks for you help.
